I think the point is that be design, 99% of the time, it won't be 
necessary to know or have that information to reproduce a bug.  We can 
put it in ggc-page (or where-ever) and if it really it a problem later, 
it is possible to move it up.

Also, no, I disagree.  The current instructions should encourage the 
submitter to submit the output of -v.  If -v shows the information, 
then a bug reproducer/fixer can use that information, if they need it.
